Pastry software · cake designers · caterers

The pastry software
that runs the whole workshop

Orders, quotes, customers, planning, costing: one dashboard, connected to your website and shop. Not another spreadsheet, not three subscriptions to stitch together.

How it works

Your day, in order

  1. 01

    Orders come in on their own

    Shop, quote form, manually entered orders: everything goes into the same list, with status, payment and date.

  2. 02

    You produce at the right pace

    The planning shows each day's load in capacity points. You see full days before accepting one order too many.

  3. 03

    You know what you earn

    Ingredient and recipe sheets calculate the cost price; each order's profitability shows next to its price.

One tool

Everything you need to
run a workshop

Cost price and recipes

Ingredients with purchase price, recipes with quantities, margin coefficient: the recommended selling price and the profitability of each order.

Connect ChatGPT or Claude to your account to view your orders and prepare quotes, and track visits to your site. Premium plan.

Why dedicated software

Pastry software is not restaurant software

Point-of-sale tools and restaurant software are designed for service: tables, tickets, stock. An independent pastry chef, a cake designer or a caterer works to order, often days in advance, with deposits and dates. Patissio is built around that reality: the order, its date, its payment and its place in your production capacity.

Everything is connected. A quote request received on your site becomes an order, which enters the planning, whose cost price is calculated from your recipes, and whose deposit is collected by Stripe. You do not have four tools to keep in sync, you have one.

The Starter plan is free and already includes the site, the shop and order management. The Pro plan adds quotes, planning, recipes and cost price; Premium adds workshops, team, custom domain and agent access. You upgrade when your business calls for it.

Compare

Patissio versus other pastry software

The market has two other families of tools: kitchen software (ChefsTouch, Otami, Ratatool, ProCake), excellent on recipe sheets and purchasing but silent on selling; and generic website builders (Wix, Shopify), which sell but ignore custom orders, deposits and production. Patissio covers the whole chain, from the customer’s request to the profitability of the order.

FAQ

Choosing pastry software

Which software for an independent pastry chef?
An independent pastry chef, cake designer or caterer works to order, with dates, deposits and custom requests. They need software that links the customer’s request (website, quote form), production (planning, capacity) and profitability (recipes, costing). Patissio covers all three; kitchen software stops at the third.
Is there free pastry software?
Yes. Patissio’s Starter plan is free with no time limit: website, online shop, orders and directory. The costing and cake-pricing calculators are also free, without sign-up. On the kitchen side, ChefsTouch offers a free plan limited to 100 recipe sheets.
How is it different from restaurant software or a till?
Restaurant tools are built for a service: tables, tickets, stock. Pastry software is built around the dated order, the deposit and the slot in production capacity. Patissio is not a till; it sits before it, when the customer orders and pays online.
Does Patissio replace ChefsTouch, Otami or Ratatool?
For a workshop that sells to order, yes in most cases: recipes, costing and planning are included from the Pro plan. If your first need is food labelling, automatic supplier invoice reading or multi-site inventory, those tools go deeper and can be combined with Patissio, which handles sales.
Does Patissio work on mobile?
Yes. The dashboard runs in a browser on desktop, tablet or phone, and can be installed as an app on the home screen.
Is there a commitment?
No. Pro and Premium plans are billed monthly or yearly and can be cancelled at any time from the Subscription page. The Starter plan stays free with no time limit.
